Mayan hammocks are simply the most comfortable. We have them handmade by skilled artisans from the Yucatan state in Mexico.
The diamond weave adjusts to the weight and shape of the body
perfectly. The support removes pressure points and thus allows the
muscles of the body to relax. The feeling has been compared to floating
on a cloud.

Mayan hammocks are very wide allowing to
lie down in a diagonal position. Body weight is distributed evenly
throughout the hammock. This is the adequate and ideal posture for
sleeping, as the inhabitants of the Mayan zone have been doing for
hundreds of years.

Mayan hammocks are also extremely comfortable because they provide
good ventilation. They are light-weight, so string hammocks can be used
for camping or taken to the beach. The main disadvantage is that it is
easier to damage a string hammock with a sharp object.

The body of a Mayan hammock is available either in cotton or in nylon. For more strength the suspension arms are always made of nylon.

The cotton
fibre breathe and will stretch to adjust perfectly to the shape of your
body making it the most comfortable of all. We carry 2 sizes of yarn.
The regular one (#9) is thinner and the most widely use while the thick
cord hammocks (#24) are more resistant. Thinner means more comfort while
thicker equal more strength.

The hammock made from nylon
will not stretch. It is more like sleeping on a very firm mattress. In
southern Mexico the nylon is widely used for it's capacity to resist
humidity and perspiration.

We now offer a polyester Mayan hammock that is weather resistant.

String hammocks are most decorative as they come in exotic, tropical colours to create a relaxing exotic atmosphere. Our Mayan Hammocks from Yucatan
are available in a large rainbow assortment of colours and
combinations. Since they are hand made by creative artisans, no two are
exactly alike.

BUT WE GO FURTHER TO SHOW YOU THE MOST ACCURATE COLOR SO YOU CAN PICK WHAT YOU WANT AND NOT LEAVE US THE SELECTION !

"Tequila"hammocks are weaved with a mix of red, orange and yellow. They are as hot as Mexico sun.

A "Multicolor"hammock will bring happiness in your interior or exterior decor. They
will be made with 4 to 7 different colours. There is a specific pattern offered on each size.

We also offer hammocks in a single color or 2 color combinations

How to understand Mayan hammocks (Mexican hammocks) sizes?

The size of a string Mayan hammock is determined by the quantity of
yarn used to weave it. For the regular yarn (#9) we work four hammock
sizes. #4 - #5 - #6 - #7. Each number equals the number of thread tubes
(spools) used to weave the body of the hammock. So the more material
used, the bigger the hammocks and more time needed to weave it. Thick
cord and Mayan spreader-bar hammocks come in medium or large size.

Length is almost the same for each size. The difference is in the
width of the hammock. The higher the number, the wider/bigger is the
hammock. As it is diagonally that we must lie in a hammock the width
matters more then the length. The larger the hammock the more
comfortable it will feel. This holds true even for one person. The
general rule is to get the largest hammock you can reasonably afford.
Mexican artisans also make a small hammock using 3 spools of material.
This hammock is barely big enough for a children and we do not carry it.

Hammock retailers use different words to describe the size of their
hammock. Don’t be fooled! A poor quality hammock with a loose weave will
stretch more then a good one but will be less comfortable and will
leave more marks on the skin. By experience I can assure you that a
hammock woven with 3 spools of material (#3) and weighting 650gr (23oz.)
will only fit a small person or a kid for a short period.

The only way to know if you are getting the right hammock is by considering it’s weight.

A SMALL / SINGLE, #3 hammock contains 3 spools of material. It is good for 1 children and will not be comfortable for an adult.

The MEDIUM
hammock (#4) is a lightweight, strong hammock using 4 spools of
material. Ok for one adult at a time or two kids. Great for camping and
travelling. easy carrying, easy handling. It is wrongly called a DOUBLE hammock.

The LARGE hammock (#5) is also called a MATRIMONIAL or a QUEEN
size hammock. It is a resistant midsize hammock. It fits one person
comfortably and up to two adults if you want to get cozy. 5 spools of
material are used.

The X-LARGE size hammock (#6), also called a FAMILY or a KING
size, is ideal for two or three people and carries up to 350kg.
(770lbs). 6 spools of yarn are necessary to weave the body of this great
hammock. It is a very strong hammock, great to keep in the house or
outside. We find it the perfect hammock. You will love it!!

The JUMBO
hammock (#7) is a big one. An entire family can enjoy it
since it can hold up to 400kg (880lbs). The larger the hammock, the more
comfortable it will be. In general, the rule is to get the largest
hammock you can accommodate.

Our THICK CORD hammock is an EXTRA-LARGE
one weighing 6,6 lbs.. This hammock is very comfortable and it's yarn is 3 times
bigger then the regular one, Here is a strong hammock that will last
many years if you take good care of it.

For spreader-bar hammocks it is easier to understand the size since
it represent the length of the wooden bars mounted at each end. The MAYAN DELUXE hammock is 55" wide while the RESORT STYLE measure 47".

To extend the life of your hammock, we suggest taking it down when not in use
